Former Mets and Yankees ace Dwight “Doc” Gooden was busted again — this time in New Jersey after getting into a car crash while under the influence of drugs with his 5-year-old son in the vehicle, authorities said.

Gooden, 45, was arrested Tuesday in Franklin Lakes at about 8:50 a.m. after crashing into another car along Old Mill Road, Deadspin.com reported today.

The former major league pitcher, who has served time behind bars for drug abuse, was released on his own recognizance.

Gooden was driving his son Dylan to school at the time of the crash, police said.

He was also charged with being under the influence of a controlled dangerous substance, endangering the welfare of a child, DWI with a child passenger, leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident, reckless driving, failure to keep right and failure to notify change of address regarding driver’s license, police said.

Police in the posh suburb declined to say what drugs were involved.

The Mets had invited Gooden, who took a job as senior vice-president with the minor league Newark Bears last year, to spring training this year to serve as a team adviser.

The three-time World Series champion has a history of drug abuse and a lengthy rap sheet dating to his playing days in the 1980s.

In 1986, Gooden pleaded no contest to battery on an officer and resisting arrest after getting into a scuffle with Tampa police officers. He was sentenced to three years’ probation.

A year later, he tested positive for cocaine and went to drug rehab for 28 days.

In 1992, Gooden was one of three players accused of raping a 31-year-old woman at a home he rented in Florida for spring training. The charge was later dropped

Two years later, he was suspended for 60 days after violating Majorl League Baseball’s drug program by failing two substance abuse tests. Gooden eventually checked into the Betty Ford Center, but failed more tests after returning. As a result, baseball suspended him for the 1995 season.

In 2002, Gooden pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of reckless driving after he was arrested in Tampa. A year later, he was busted for driving with a suspended license after a traffic stop in Tampa.

In 2005, he was arrested at his Tampa home for allegedly hitting his fiancee. He was charged with misdemeanor battery. Also that year, Gooden was accused of fleeing from a traffic stop in Tampa after being pulled over for driving erratically and reeking of alcohol.

Gooden was busted again in 2006 for violating his probation after he appeared high on cocaine at a scheduled meeting with his probation officer. He spent eight months in jail for that violation.

Gooden, the 1984 Rookie of the Year and the 1985 NL Cy Young Award winner with the Mets, went 194-112 with a 3.51 ERA before retiring in 2001. He also pitched for the Cleveland Indians, Houston Astros and Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

Gooden and former Mets teammate Darryl Strawberry, who also has a history of drug abuse, are slated to be inducted into the Mets’ Hall of Fame this summer.
